 /**
  * URL entry is an annotated URL object. It allows descriptive text to be
  * associated with a URL. When used as description object, the annotation
  * typically corresponds to short descriptive text, with the URL reference
  * pointing to full browsable description.
  * <p>
  * Clients may implement this interface. However, in most cases clients should
  * directly instantiate or subclass the provided implementation of this
  * interface.
  * </p>
  * <p>
  * <b>Note:</b> This class/interface is part of an interim API that is still under development and expected to
  * change significantly before reaching stability. It is being made available at this early stage to solicit feedback
  * from pioneering adopters on the understanding that any code that uses this API will almost certainly be broken
  * (repeatedly) as the API evolves.
